More about James Middleton and his Boomf
The old office of Boomf was in the same place as his home entertainment company, Party Pieces. The latter was founded by his mother Carole 32 years back in her kitchen. This is near their family home situated in Bucklebury. But now, Boomf has expanded and needed more space. It started with manufacturing personalised marshmallows. But now it also creates other novelties such as Boomf Bomb and balloon pets. Boomf Bomb is an explosive photo card which rains confetti.
James said:
‘We are continuing to grow,’
‘I’m now working on a new company which will launch next year,’
This is his close-to-heart project since it includes his dogs whom he credits for helping him overcome his depression.
James Middleton’s girlfriend Alizee Thevenet
James is dating French financier, Alizee Thevenet. Reports reveal that Ella that is one of his cocker spaniels was the one through whom the couple got introduced to each other.

About Alizee Thevenet
Alizee hails from the romantic nation of France. But she grew up in six different countries namely, Germany, Indonesia, Chile, France, Belgium, and England. Hence it is no surprise that Alizee knows three languages fluently which includes English, French, and Spanish.

For the past six months, she is based in London and is in the finance sector there. Her father, Jean-Gabriel Thevenet also likes James and praising his prospective son-in-law had said:
“James is a very charming man. I am very happy that Alizee is together with James. I know she is very happy. We keep our fingers crossed for them… James and the Middleton family are very charming. We have a lot of admiration for the whole Middleton family—James, his sisters and his parents.”
